I have 6 Land Rovers coming into Port Heuneme near Santa Barbara on the
9th of July. I can collect them on the 12th. It is a thursday. I have
enough drivers, but two of them might drop out at short notice. Is
anyone available to step in and drive one at short notice? The plan is
as follows. We would leave Placerville in Northern California on July
12th in a small plane or two and fly to Oxnard Airport. Oxnard is two
hours flight and is 1 mile from the port. I would hope to arrive at
about 9,00am. The port is open at 8,00am. There will be an hour of
paperwork and me paying huge amounts of shipping money and we can leave.
It is 450 miles back here, which is 8 or 9 hours at 50 mph. The 56
Series I will be the slowest and we would all have to stick together so
it will be a slow hot run up California. It will take all day. I will
of course be filling them all with gas and the drivers with food and
soda. If anyone is available as a stand in if plan "A" fails, I would be
very grateful. I do not want to have to do it in two runs. They are
all very good condition, clean straght machines, so I do not envisage
any breakdowns. It will look like the UN has landed!! We can run up
some Union Jacks and drink a lot of tea and frighten the locals!
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Mark Pilkington
